Windows 7 :: Hp F300 Win 7 64 Bit Driver

HP Printer F300 Driver

This may or may not apply to other brands of printers or even other peripherals, but if you have an HP printer that is not supported by Windows 7 and HP doesn't have a W7 driver released for it yet, this is what you can do to get your printer working.

If your HP printer is showing up as an "other device" in the control panel and you have tried to DL the Vista drivers from HP with no luck, you can still use the Vista driver (32 or 64 bit) in W7. To do so, go to the control panel, right click on the printer (or other device perhaps) that is giving you trouble, go to properties, then click the update driver button. If you click on the driver button and it says no driver is installed for the device, even though you downloaded and tried to get your device working, "updating the driver" may work.

After clicking update driver, click on "browse my computer for the driver" manually. If you downloaded the driver package (non-plug and play) from HP and installed it, it should be somewhere in your program files under HP. Locate it with the browse function in driver update and you click install. That should do it.

What I was working with was an HP Laserjet 1020 and just plugging it in wasn't doing the trick, nor was installing the plug and play driver, as the printer would not detect during the install. HP's website stated that they would not be releasing the W7 driver until mid November. So I downloaded the x64 driver for Vista (non-plug and play), installed it, and then manually installed it from the control panel.

My HP All-in-One f300 (i think) installed just fine on its own, so again, this just applies to those HP printers that refuse to install. I have a feeling I'll be doing it again tomorrow with an HP color laser printer I got for a steal the other day.

I have a feeling that in the case like this involving other branded printers and possibly other devices; it's worth a shot, at least if drivers have yet to be released for the device or in the worst case, if your device is no longer supported and giving you troubles during their install.

No Drivers Found. Click Load Driver To Provide A Mass Storage Driver F?

Jan 7, 2013

Okay so, my laptop's system is unable to boot, so I just tried to format it since I have to do that for a very long time, and when it asked me in which partition I want to install windows there was nothing, although when I clicked "Load Driver" I could access the hard disk's files, the hard disk IS listed in the bios normally but windows does not recognize it, I tried using Kaspersky Rescue disk(the only CD I had along with the recovery disk)and when I used the File Manager, the hard disk still didn't show, are there any drivers I have to install?I have burned both fujitsu9that's my laptop) and Seagate's websites and can't find anything, I have searched forums but the only answers were "check if your hd is listen in bios".So, i IS listed in bios but I can't reinstall windows nor access it
